Hi, I am taking Acriptega pills in the morning. Can I change this and take them at night?
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
Yes you can take Acriptega at night. Sometimes people experience insomnia when taking Acriptega at night which is why it is started in the morning. But if taking your medication in the morning is not suitable, it is safe to do so at night.
To switch you will need to take your morning dose, followed by an evening dose. Continue then taking your medication in the evening. On this first day you may experience more pronounced side effects for the time there is a high level of drug in your body. This should settle soon after.

I understand you are scared – everyone is at first.
The HIV medications (called Antiretroviral medication or ARVs) we use today are very safe and that includes Acriptega.
We also have a lot of research from the last 40 years telling us that people living with HIV on effective treatment can live very good lives.
They can have children free of HIV, they don’t pass on the virus to their sexual partners.
And most importantly they can live healthy lives.

Hi I just found out that I’m HIV positive in February 2024 and they gave me 3type of medication at the clinic. I was so scared I didn’t start the treatment. In May they took bloods at the clinic. The result came back and my viral load is 1800 and they saw that I’m not taking the medication. They came to me with 1 bottle of Acriptega. Is it safe for me to take it as I’ve never took the first medication they gave me for 2 month?
Hi Sinethemba, thanks, what does your doctor say about this. They will have info about when you started and you can describe in more detail about these problems. Does it help to take the meds in the morning?
